I've submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' rpki-client to 9.8 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/32251

GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK!

It's up to someone else to merge it.

I couldn't help but notice the most recent OpenBGPD release announcement mentioned something about a -portable branch? Admittedly, it has been a very long time since I looked at building OpenBGPD on macOS, but maybe it is worth looking at again? I still think it is probably ill advised to use macOS for something as critical as routing insomuch as it sleeps, with abandon, unless /usr/bin/caffeinate is invoked.

rpki-client 9.8 released

On Tuesday, 7 April, the Global Internet Standards Testing Community (GISTC) held its 3rd online meeting, which was chaired by Alena Muravska from @ripencc.

The GISTC brings together organisations from all over the world around #InternetStandards the Internet.nl test tool and open-source code.

Its goal is to enable knowledge exchange, coordination of efforts, and of course to collaboratively improve the adoption of modern internet standards like #IPv6, #DNSSEC, #DANE, #DMARC, and #RPKI.

Email address obfuscation: What works in 2026?

🌗 BGP協定現在安全了嗎?
➤ 透過 RPKI 認證機制,築起網際網路路由的安全防線
https://isbgpsafeyet.com/
邊界閘道協定(BGP)作為網際網路的「郵政系統」,負責為數據選定最佳路徑,然而其先天設計缺乏安全性,導致全球網路經常面臨幹擾風險。Cloudflare 指出,唯有透過名為 RPKI 的認證體系,纔能有效防堵惡意路由注入。近年來,隨著全球各大電信商與網際網路服務供應商(ISP)如 Verizon、Comcast 與 Sparkle 等陸續加入防護行列,採用 RPKI 源位址驗證(Origin Validation)並過濾無效路由,網際網路的安全基石正在逐步強化。
+ 網路底層架構的演進總是異常緩慢,看到這麼多大型營運商終於開始過濾無效路徑,總算讓人對網際網路的可靠性稍微放心了一些。
+ RPKI 固然重要,但這終究是一個去中心化的挑戰,如果還有大型 ISP 不跟進,整個路由體系的脆弱點依然存在。

Is BGP safe yet? · Cloudflare

On the Internet, network devices exchange routes via a protocol called BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). Unfortunately, issues with BGP have led to malicious actors being able to hijack and misconfigure devices leading to security problems which have the potential to cause widespread problems. BGP security can be greatly improved by using technologies such as RPKI to sign Internet routes. This page attempts to track the progress of major Internet players (ISPs, transit operators, and content providers) in their progress to adopt RPKI and other technologies.

🚀 Ah, the noble quest to secure the Internet's mailman! 🌍 #BGP is still as safe as letting toddlers handle your bank transactions. But fear not, because #ISPs will definitely implement #RPKI and save the day...right after they solve world peace and cure aging. 😂

Last week I was in Stockholm for the route servers workshop organised by #Euro-IX. I presented my work on the #Debian packaging of software like #BIRD, #OpenBGPD and the #RPKI validators.

Slides are available at https://www.linux.it/~md/text/ixp-debian-rsws2026.pdf .

Interesting discussion about distribution / decentralization / de facto concentration of the #RPKI at #IETF125, which reminds me of discussions about the fediverse, Bluesky, etc.

"RPKI has been around for a while... more than a decade..."

🤔

🧐

😱

"more than a decade"??

... I remember when it began... 😃
